Treatment options for replacement of missing teeth are Bridge and full or partial dentures

Although they address the short term cosmetic problem of the missing teeth, they do nothing to stop the bone loss in the area of missing teeth.
Bridge requires two or more healthy teeth to be reduced in size to serve as pillars (abutments) for a Bridge, leaving them at a much greater risk for cavities and Root Canal Treatment.
With implants, the healthy teeth are not ground and they transmit the chewing forces to the jaw thereby halting bone loss.
Many leading dental organizations recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement.
